Woke up super early to take a bus and passed by Hendon camp on 109, and I'm really missing the carefree days. So much memories welding up I almost couldn't hold it in...
Took a boat and off we go!
Before this course, I didn't even know what's the rationale behind the regulation, much less to talk about alien species and their impact (though I learnt it through other means but now I'm noticing them!)
Class: "basking in the sun!"
Learnt about the Pistol scrimps making popping sound (with a 2000 degrees Celsius temperature "micro" snapping); and how durians in pair on the ground are usually unripe, plucked by monkeys (so look for those solo ones!); and less usefully, learnt that the broadwalk is not made of wood but cement and fiber glass
Headed to Changi museum next. Reminded me of the concentration camps I've visited; same depressing feel but so much closer to home made me grasped for air a couple of time as I went through the museum. Even the incidents were similar: promise of a better place to Endau, Johore; same old story as what happened in Krakow to trick prisoners to resettle in Auschwitz. Less crowded indeed; but a better place, they say. And did you know, we even have a Singapore's Schindler: Mamoru Shinozaki!
